It's soooo wide! If it weren't for the hoz scroll each page driving me crazy, sliding it sideways does at least get the text part to fit in 800 pixels AND hides the overly large avatars & associated column ;-) But real problem is it's an order of magnitude or 2 too slow. Anyone used CPG-Nuke, this stuff can be fast. Fear it was not designed for speed. Check out those already infamous yelow pentagons - each is a UNIQUE graphic (that just look the same) so each loads individually and visibly slowly, and hammers my bandwidth - let alone what it does to the server. [Right-click and View Image one and look at it's URL....] And why doesn't the Preview page have a copy of the Input text, without another button click? That's archaic alright, but again, a "feature" that slows the site "by design." BTW anyone figured out yet which pefectly good OSS app this was before it was slowed done, err, enhanced? OMG, they are downloading the CSS on every page! What a hoot! It's like a browser history lesson - (Maybe "How Not To Progress" would be a good title?) Opps! No record trail left on post edits - this is my 2nd. (Should make for some interesting revisionist posting, IYKWIM ;-) And no preview on edits, so don't make errors when fixing you errors :-P
